We buy honey from the farms north of the city and at farmers markets.. local product that is very fresh straight from the hive. the only national brand we have used in the past is Billy Bee.
I read some cheap brands bring in cheap honey from China which contains residues of pesticides that are banned in North America. And they are sneaky as they import it through a 3rd country so it may say 'imported from Malaysia', even though it is 100% Chinese honey with contaminants.
So be careful.. cheap honey from a dollar store is probably filled with illegal pesticide residues and sub-standard product. Big national brands should be fine ... since they should value their reputation.
Or pick up some local honey at a farmer's market
For those in Ontario, we pick up our honey from Saugeen Country Honey of Elmwood ON we buy it at the St Jacob's farmer's market) and local honey from Forsythe Farm in Markham ON (only open MAY to DEC).
